1 - Can't speak, I don't know anything in that regard.

2 - Well... he's got his moments. I guess.

The whole interpretation of him searching for power so that he can protect everyone and not be powerless as he was when his mother died makes it look like he's doing it for a good cause but for whatever reason went astray, although the whole argument falls apart if you believe he wants power for power's sake. And I believe the particular instance you mention has to do with him seeing Arkham as no longer useful, something that in my opinion mainly portrays him as a calculating, pragmatic man, rather than one with no honor. Also, let's be honest, honor has little to do when the man standing next to you is willing to kill (and in fact, killed) his own wife for power. There is still a certain honor to him, since he could always try and fight dirty, but nevertheless always fights Dante like an equal, even in DMC1, when he is under Mundus' control.

3 - Remember than in DMC3, Vergil wins the fights where Dante uses the guns (in the cinematics, I mean), whereas he never became the victor when Dante always sticked to his sword. That can be explained as Dante coming to terms with his demon heritage and finding something to fight for as the game progresses, but it is still something to be noted, since Dante uses guns in the first fight's cinematic (which Vergil effortlessly turns against him) but isn't shown using the guns against Vergil in the cinematics of their second and third combats.
